Summary
World of Warcraft’s (WoW) latest patch, 11.1, also named ‘Undermined’, includes various upgrades and changes to the game.
In addition to optimising performance and reducing lag, the new goblin metropolis of Undermine has dynamic lighting and brighter visuals.
Blizzard have also improved the AI of non-player characters, allowing for more immersive quests and adaptations to a player’s actions.
In line with this, gold selling and economic changes are prevalent due to the new expansion and area for players to explore.
Whilst it is safest to purchase gold through the in-game shop, players can now take part in dynamic public events to earn gold themselves.
Overall, the new patch and area update aim to improve optimisation, visuals and interactivity for players, whilst encouraging safer and more in-game methods to earn and spend gold.
